What is a drop down window and how would you use it? |
[Edit] |
A drop down window is where you click on a control and another menu pops up. If you are using Internet Explorer, you can see one right now. Move to the top of the screen and find the address bar. At the extreme right of the address bar is an arrow pointing downwards - if you click on it, a drop down menu will appear with a list of options - in this case, websites that you have visited in the past. You use one of these options by clicking on it - say that you wanted to go to Google and you had typed www.google.com into the address bar the previous day. You would use the dropdown menu to find Google and click on it.
Dropdown menus are usuallly used when there are a large number of options for a setting, and can be an alternative to the 'dots' (sry, don't know the actual term) where you have a series of circles and you click to place the dot in the circle corresponding to the option you ahve selected.
